@NOkink_jpSPAM: "I am running W2003 and connect by remote admin mode.
Have an app running when connected directly to the server but when I connect 
by remote admin the running app is not in view or in the taskbar. I login at 
both ends as administrator so can't understand why I can't see this 
application running.
Any ideas??
Thanks "
    @PatrickRouse: "You need to connect to the console session, via "mstsc /console".  The 
console of the server is session 0, however when you open a remote desktop 
session, you are given a new session, unless you specifically specifiy the 
/console switch, or are logging onto a XP Pro machine that only supports one 
session (session 0).
This only works for 2003, not 2000.

    @NOkink_jpSPAM: "Okay I understand well sort of but just one query.
I did that once I had actually connected to the TS server but how about from 
an XP machine to the TS server I can't automatically connect to the 
console?? I assume I have to connect to the TS by normal rdp then open the 
mmc snapin and connect to the console session when I am already logged onto 
the W2003 server.
Is this correct?
Thanks

    @PatrickRouse: "No, you are incorrect.  The only difference between the Remote Desktops MMC 
and the Remote Desktop Client, is the Remote Desktops MMC has a checkbox to 
select "Connect to console".  This can be accomplished from any kind of 
computer (with the Remote Desktop Client Installed) via Start -> Run -> mstsc 
/console.
If you like you can install the 2003 adminpak.msi on your XP Pro 
workstation, if you prefer the Remote Desktops MMC.
